Here, have an article about Trump supporters in Louisiana and the uneasy truce between conservatives and poor whites, it's good.

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/08/trump-white-blue-collar-supporters



And traditional conservatives are of course starting to treat poor whites the same way they have poor people of all colors if you remember the National Review's articles during the primaries:

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/432796/working-class-whites-have-moral-responsibilities-defense-kevin-williamson

As leery as I was of an article that cited Charles loving Murray and had sections engineered to get my head shaking like this

quote:

As we drove from the trailer park to her home, Sharon reflected on human ambition: "You can just see it in some guys' eyes; they're aiming higher. They don't want a handout." This was the central point of one of Sharon's favorite books, Barefoot to Billionaire, by oil magnate Jon Huntsman Sr. (whose son ran in the 2012 Republican presidential primary).

Wiki:

quote:

Jon Meade Huntsman was born in Blackfoot, Idaho. His mother, Sarah Kathleen (née Robison), was a homemaker, and his father, Alonzo Blaine Huntsman, was an educator.[4] In 1950 the family moved to Palo Alto, California, where Alonzo pursued graduate studies at Stanford University, earning an M.A. and Ed.D. He then became a superintendent of schools in the Los Altos, California district.

It is fascinating for bits like this

quote:

Or as one tea partier wrote to me: "We're so broke. Where does this food & welfare money come from? How can free stuff (including college, which my 4.2 student needs) even be on the table when the US owes $19,343,541,768,824.00 as of July 1? Is it just me or does it seem like the only thing ANYONE cares about is themselves and their immediate circumstances?"

An inversion of morality that I'm used to and pretty central to all the book religions generally.

And this

quote:

Liberal television pundits and bloggers took easy potshots at them, they felt, which hardened their defenses.

Also this

quote:

Meanwhile, this tea party mom of a Sanders-loving son was reluctantly gearing up to vote for Donald Trump.

And a generalized take on governmental assistance that I find completely alien.

I'm unclear on (and apathetic toward) the details, but apparently a football player recently implied that America might not be great or something. This is, of course, a national catastrophe because the NFL is basically the fourth branch of government.

More like a state-religion. He's drawn like a donkey to represent democrats being the party that hates america and white people (because BLM is an anti-white hate group, see) and the sitting on millions of dollars is a visual metaphor for taking the money spent by hardworking americans and disrespecting them

It seems to me that at this point, Christie gives no fucks about setting up a republican to replace him next year. I could understand him governing to the right of his state a few years ago when he had national ambitions, but now that Trump has poo poo all over them and reduced Christie to errand boy, you would think he would at least try to salvage the small bit of goodwill he might have in his home state.
